mitigation methods and labeling strategies for its carbon
emissions. With this background, volume two of this book has been
framed with dedicated chapters on carbon footprint assessment on
various industrial sectors, apart from the ones covered in Volume
1. In each chapter, details pertaining to the assessment
methodologies of carbon footprint followed in a particular
industry, challenges in calculating the carbon footprint, case
studies of various products in that particular industry,
mitigation measures to be followed to trim down the carbon
footprint, recommendations for further research are discussed in
detail.
